The sound grew louder and louder, and then suddenly, with a loud "bang," the coffin lid burst open, and a hand reached out from inside the coffin.
That hand was withered and thin, with long nails filled with dirt. The skin on the hand was wrinkled and the color of the skin was an unnatural pale white...
Ye Qing'an was on high alert. She retreated to the outside of the door and quickly raised her hand to form a barrier. It was a sound-isolating barrier that enveloped the dilapidated courtyard where she was.
After creating one barrier, Ye Qing'an felt something was amiss, so she created another barrier, preventing anyone or anything inside from leaving.
After one hand emerged from the coffin, another hand broke out of the coffin with a sound.
Then, the entire coffin suddenly exploded, and pieces of wood flew everywhere. Ye Qing'an hurriedly used her Xuanling Technique to deflect the incoming pieces of wood before looking up into the coffin.
Only the bottom plank of the coffin remained. The person dressed entirely in white sat on that plank, staring intently at his hands, looking somewhat bewildered.
White hair, white skin, white clothes...
Ye Qing'an squinted at the person. She had seen Gu Duo's portrait before, but the person in front of her seemed to have no resemblance to Gu Duo in the portrait at all.
The man finally raised his head and his gaze fell on Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an finally saw the man's face, but was slightly taken aback. The face didn't quite match his thin, wrinkled hands.
His face was very pale, but you could still see the charm he had in his youth in his eyes and brows.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a high, straight nose.
But his eyes held a hint of confusion.
After a long while, his gaze finally settled on Ye Qing'an's face. Then, he beckoned to Ye Qing'an and said, "Come here, come and help me take a look. I used to have a red mole on my hand, but why is it gone?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and suddenly remembered that the storyteller had said that Gu Duo had actually gone mad before falling into Ye Qinghao's hands.
Ye Qing'an stared intently at him and slowly walked towards him: "What's your name?"
"What's my name?" Ye Qing'an's question seemed to have completely stumped him. He frowned slightly, his face full of confusion: "What's my name? Ah, I remember now, my name is Xiaobai."
"But you can't call me Xiaobai. That's a name only one person can call me. No one else can call me Xiaobai. That's a dog's name."
Ye Qing'an frowned. Was he really a madman?
Thinking this to himself, Ye Qing'an looked at him again and said, "Why aren't you coming over? Come and take a look at me, my red mole is gone."
"What kind of red mole is it? Is it important?"
“It’s important.” Gu Duo lowered his head again and looked at his palm: “Where did my red mole go? It’s very important, very important. Because of it, I can be with my little flower, and I can come back to find my little flower.”
"Little Flower? Who is Little Flower?"
Gu Duo seemed not to have heard Ye Qing'an's words at all, and only frowned: "And Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang is still waiting for me to go back. He will only return my little flower after he sees my red mole."
Ye Qing'an frowned, completely unaware of what he was talking about, but still walked up to Gu Duo.
Gu Duo raised his head, a smile spreading across his face, a smile as innocent as a child's. He then placed his hand in front of Ye Qing'an: "Quickly, help me take a look, see where my red mole has gone?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her head to look at Gu Duo's hands. Those hands looked incredibly old, with many lines on the palms, but the skin was extremely white.
Ye Qing'an looked for a long time but still couldn't find the red mole that Gu Duo had mentioned.
"Did you find it? Did you see my red mole?"
"No," Ye Qing'an replied truthfully, "there is no red mole."
"How could that be? How could it not be there? Look again, it's right there."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and shook her head: "Still no, I didn't see it."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, Gu Duo's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and a flame suddenly leaped within them...
Li Huo's Eyes?
Ye Qing'an trembled all over. How could this be?
How could Gu Duo possess the Eyes of the Blazing Fire?
But Ye Qing'an had seen those eyes twice on Yi Moxu, so she couldn't be mistaken.
Ye Qing'an inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly retreated, but Gu Duo was even faster. Before Ye Qing'an had even reached the doorway, Gu Duo was already behind her. She hadn't seen how he moved at all...
Why did you lose my birthmark?
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "I didn't lose your mole."
After a pause, Ye Qing'an continued, "It's right here in your palm. Take another look, look closely."
"It's gone, it's gone!" Gu Duo's eyes were bloodshot, but frost began to form on his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes.
When Li Huomou's eyes flare up, he is completely irrational, let alone Gu Duo, who is a complete madman.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, but she wasn't too flustered. After all, at worst, she could just hide back in the Cloud Dream Realm. After all, her life was more important.
But then Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered that when Yi Moxu's Blazing Eyes flared up before, her blood could suppress them...
Ye Qing'an's heart skipped a beat. She raised her hand and bit her own hand, blood oozing from her finger. Looking at Gu Duo, who had already raised his hand, Ye Qing'an quickly shoved her hand into Gu Duo's mouth.
Gu Duo seemed completely taken aback by Ye Qing'an's actions. He paused for a moment, feeling a metallic taste of blood spreading in his mouth.
"You're asking for death!" Gu Duo roared. "What filthy thing did you feed me! How dare you scheme against me! You'll pay with your life!"
Gu Duo stretched out his arms, and then the blizzard swept towards Ye Qing'an. Each snowflake was like an extremely sharp weapon, landing on the wall beside him and piercing straight through it...
Ye Qing'an also quickly conjured countless ice swords and attacked Gu Duo.
Before those ice swords could even touch a single hair on Gu Duo's head, they were already frozen in mid-air...
Ye Qing'an attacked and resisted at the same time, her gaze fixed on Gu Duo. The blood red in Gu Duo's eyes was still frighteningly red, showing no signs of fading...
It was no use; her blood had absolutely no effect on Gu Duo.
